High Reliability – Low Total Cost of OwnershipIntel® SSDs are known industry wide for quality and reliability. The Intel® SSD DC Family for SATA is engineered to reduce downtime as a result of storage-related failures and designed to meet an Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) of 0.44%. The Intel® SSD DC Family for SATA significantly reduces Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Held to the highest validation standards, the Intel SSD DC Family for SATA is analyzed in more than 5,000 unique tests and is fully supported with Intel’s 5-year limited warranty and customer support.

Power-Efficient PerformanceThe Intel® SSD DC Family for SATA accelerates data center performance with read-write throughput speeds up to 550/5201 megabytes per second (MB/s) and 4K random read-write input/output operations per second (IOPs) up to 85,000/45,000.

Applications benefit from 55 µs typical latency with max read latencies of 500 µs 99.9% of the time. Combining performance with low typical active power (less than 6.9 watts), the Intel SSD DC Family for SATA improves data center efficiency with superior quality of service, reduced energy costs, and is ideal for server or application upgrades.

The arrival of the solid-state drive (SSD) has revolutionised the speed at which modern PCs perform common tasks. This is because SSDs have no moving parts, compared to larger, bulkier mechanical drives, thus they store information on memory chips. This means that accesses, reads and writes are many, many times faster

One of the greatest advances for PCs in recent years has been the introduction of solid-state drives (SSD). These storage drives hold information on flash memory that is managed by a processing chip called a controller. Advantages of SSDs over traditional spinning disks are numerous, from silent operation, lower power to significantly faster performance.
